Traditionally, scientists, engineers, and other technical professionals have had to rely on large CPU-based clusters to crunch complex datasets. Introduction of Colfax CXT8000 democratizes HPC by providing these professionals with an affordable supercomputing resource that comes in a small footprint, is much faster, and more energy-efficient than a CPU-only driven cluster.

The Colfax CXT8000 together with NVIDIA's CUDA C toolkit for leveraging the massively parallel architecture of the GPU will provide a quantum leap in performance and continue to accelerate the pace of engineering and scientific work to solve the most computationally-intensive challenges including protein docking, molecular dynamics, financial analysis, structural analysis, and many others.

"Colfax has consistently been first to market with solutions that solve our customers’ pain points for better outcomes," said Gautam Shah, CEO, Colfax International. "CXT8000 will deliver a compelling solution providing customers access to supercomputing power to handle larger and more complex compute-intensive workloads outside of the data center, reduce design and development cycles, and drive new levels of innovation and productivity."

Colfax International is a global provider of customized workstations, servers, clusters and storage solutions. Founded in 1987, Colfax International is based in Sunnyvale, California and is privately held. For more information, please visit www.colfax-intl.com.
